Xerjoff 1888 is an amber floral unisex fragrance with warm spicy, woody, powdery and leathery accords.

Released in 2013, Xerjoff 1888 is part of the label's Casamorati 1888 collection. This series celebrates classic Italian perfume crafting, using ingredients favored by the original La Fabbrica di Profumi di C. Casamorati house established in Bologna in 1888. Xerjoff founder Sergio Momo drew inspiration from the original Casamorati scents, creating 16 fragrances for this series. All, including Xerjoff 1888, feature an exquisitely crafted glass bottle and goldtone cap in a fleur-de-lis inspired shape.
